Police are warning the public about a pair of garage burglaries reported over the last two months in Humboldt Park on the West Side.

In both cases, someone either jumped over a fence or broke it to access the garage, Chicago police said in a community alert. The suspect took property from inside and rode off on a bicycle.

One burglary happened about 3:30 a.m. July 12 in the 1500 block of North Karlov Avenue, and the other about 1 p.m. June 26 in the 1300 block of North Lawndale Avenue, police said.

The suspect in one case was described as a 40 to 50-year-old man standing 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-8 and weighing 130-150 pounds.

Anyone with information about the burglaries is asked to contact Area North detectives at 312-744-8263.
